That purple checkered pattern on the right image indicates that a Texture is not available. So your Surface definition references a Texture image file but it can not find it.

So you not only have to transfer your Surface attributes from one file to another but the Texture image file as well the Surface is referencing.

The easiest way to do that is to make sure both files have the same libraries linked. If the Texture image is in the Embedded Library, then that file should be transferred to the Embedded Library of the other file as well by saving it into a folder, then loading it from there in the other file.
